Maybe I care more then most people, especially those that are privileged enough to have adequate health-care coverage. I believe they are selfish. I’m disabled with Medicare and my wife’s G.H.I. health plan as a secondary. Monetarily, my family isn’t wealthy. Yet I feel for the unfortunate in our country without even minimal health coverage. Choosing between cat food or their prescriptions. Loss of house or denying themselves non-covered medical treatment.

As I understand, we are the only developed country in the world that actually seeks and makes money off those who have coverage and are sick. How callous and pathetic! How would our Founding Fathers feel? Why are there layers of health insurance companies? Obviously there is money to be made, lots of it!

Unfortunately, our elected officials are predominately tainted by the industry’s lobbyists (which fosters corruption). Certain parties mobilize and pump misinformation into a conservative Democrat’s constituent district. They fear that they will not be re-elected! I quote F.D.R., “There is nothing to fear but fear itself.” Yet they tremble! There isn’t room in the Democratic Party for the “spineless” and the conservative “blue dogs.” It’s ironic that the Democrats control the Senate, House, and presidential office and they are intimidated by the “lock step” Nazi Republicans. Put me in the Oval Office and I’ll ram it through Congress!

After Obama’s well-oiled election mechanism cleverly captured the White House, they have looked so inept! Obama has been on the defensive and allowed his opponents to run the show. I voted for Obama. I have “buyer’s remorse.” His mind is convoluted if he thinks the Republicans will show any conciliatory demeanor. I think Hillary Clinton would have been a much more effective leader. At least you know what you would have got — “tempered steel.” Why did the unpopular President Lyndon B. Johnson sign so many of his initiatives into law? Obama can’t even get out of the starters box! He has already proven a failure! Empty rhetoric!

What we need: First, concentrate on producing jobs; second, socialize medicine. Medicare is government-sponsored, it runs fine. Third, give the same medical/dental plans that politicians possess.
